Favicon Grabber
Extract favicons and app icons from any website, free, no sign-up, 100% private.
How to use this tool
Extract any website's favicon
Free Favicon Extractor fetches the icons a site publishes: the classic /favicon.ico, modern PNG and SVG favicons, and Apple touch icons. Enter a domain, see every icon found, and download the one you need. No sign-up, no software.
What gets checked
- /favicon.ico, the classic file browsers request first
- PNG and SVG favicons declared in the page's HTML head
- apple-touch-icon, the high-resolution icon iOS and Android use
- Manifest icons referenced by web app manifests
Sizes vary by site: you will often see 16×16, 32×32, 180×180 and 192×192 or 512×512 variants. Higher resolutions work best for bookmarks, presentations and app grids.
Good to know
Use favicons for research, moodboards or when you own or have permission to use the artwork. The tool only reads publicly served icon files.
How favicon discovery works
The tool first reads the page head looking for link rel="icon" declarations, which can point at PNG, SVG, ICO or Apple touch icons, then falls back to the conventional /favicon.ico path if nothing is declared. Each candidate is fetched and checked so only real images are listed, with their size, format and dimensions. SVG icons are offered as vectors, which stay sharp when scaled; PNGs are offered at the declared resolutions.

Privacy: no browsing history is kept
Entering a domain is an ordinary request from your browser to that site. 0Appz does not store the URLs you look up or the icons you download, and there is no account or history.
Using favicons correctly
- Favicons are trademarks, get permission before commercial use.
- Prefer SVG or the largest PNG, then downscale for your context.
- Keep original aspect ratio; icons are usually square and will distort.
- Check the icon still matches after a site redesign before reusing it.
- For placeholder needs, generate your own icon instead of borrowing one.

Favicon formats, sizes and where sites hide them
A favicon is not one file but a small family, and knowing the conventions explains why some sites return five icons and others none. The legacy path /favicon.ico is still checked first by many browsers; it usually contains 16×16 and 32×32 images in ICO format, and a missing file there is normal, not an error. Modern sites declare icons in the page head with link rel=icon and explicit sizes, most often PNG at 32×32, 96×96 or 192×192. SVG favicons are increasingly common because a single file scales to any size and can adapt to dark mode through CSS media queries. Apple touch icons (180×180 PNG) are used when a site is saved to an iOS home screen, and mask-icon points to a monochrome SVG used for pinned tabs. Web app manifests list 192 and 512 pixel icons for installable apps, which is why the largest icon a site owns is often only referenced from the manifest. Browsers cache favicons aggressively, so a site that recently changed its logo may still serve the old icon until the cache expires. Some hosts block cross-origin requests or publish no standard icons at all; in that case only the icon-service fallbacks can be shown. The extractor builds every standard URL locally and shows what the domain actually publishes, with nothing stored.
Frequently asked questions
How do I grab a favicon? +
Enter any domain in this tool and click Get Icons. Every standard location is checked live; results are split into "From this site" (the domain's own files, biggest first) and "Via icon services" (Google / DuckDuckGo fallbacks).
Are the shown sizes accurate? +
Yes. Each icon is measured in your browser and the real dimensions are printed on the tile (e.g. 32 × 32 · PNG). Nothing is guessed, SVG is marked "vector".
What are the "via" tiles? +
Google S2 and DuckDuckGo run favicon proxy services that return an icon for any domain. They are not files hosted on the entered site, so they are grouped separately with a "via" caption.
Do you track the domains I look up? +
Yes. URLs are constructed in your browser; the only requests are the icon images themselves loaded directly with no referrer.
